As it stands, the Ravens sit at fifth in total rush yards per game, .7 behind fourth place. I also would call the group of skill players Flacco has at receiver/tight end decently talented.
No, the offensive line isn't great, but they're not doing as poorly as I expected, sans the Jaguars game. I suppose the Steelers game will tell us more about the post-Yanda days.
But Flacco really doesn't have too many excuses this year.
I think the Jaguars game is a massive outlier personally. The entire team sans two corners and punter shit the bed.
I still think we can beat pittsburgh, though it's unlikley that we do so because injuries. I also think post-Yanda we're gonna struggle a hell of a lot more. We're potentially screwed in that facet imo. Flacco might have a bounce back game, but Heyward, Tuitt, Harrison, and Watt are gonna cause problems for the line.
I do think we need to start looking for his replacement regardless whether immediate or in the future. And this is the ideal draft to do it. Rosen, Darnold, Allen, Falk, Rudolph, all have traits of potential franchise QBs and there are more potential guys if they declare. Rosen imo is the best fit for the team but that's a pipe dream(I know you like him. But he's got a cannon, can throw deep on a line, can look off safeties, is decently mobile, lines up under center, very acccurate, but needs some work. I think Falk is the guy for us in the second round. Good arm, accurate, can move, look off safeties, call plays at the line. Needs to get bigger though and his arm is only passable by NFL standards(think Peyton manning. Strong enough to make all the throws, but not good enough to throw 70+ yards downfield on a line). But I think in a WCO offense he's an ideal fit.
But that said, I also feel as if he's capable of a bounce back year though. Especially if we can get someone to hopefully light a fire under his ass.
